Description

Use wool sponges to do the dishes, to wash your face & body, or to clean surfaces. Clean and durable, these sponges do not get gross and smelly and last for years and years. Because wool is naturally antimicrobial and antifungal, they do not harbantifungald bacterias. When you’re done with them, they are compostable.

How to Wash: Rinse with warm water, squeeze out, stretch and lay flat to dry. Use soap for stains. Sun is a natural sanitizer of wool. These sponges are made of wool and thus will shrink with initial use. Please DO NOT cut them, they will shrink down to the size of a regular sponge, and get a bit more scrubby.

See #samthesponge on Instagram for real live documentation of the use of a wool sponge.

Sourced from Stemple Creek Ranch, and Jensen Ranch, in Tomales, CA.
This wool comes from well-tended sheep raised in Northern CA, benefiting the landscape, climate, and local economy. You can find out more about the ranchers, Loren & Jim, and their animals online and on Instagram:

Healthy: its just wool, washed and carded with the most minimal processing possible. No chlorine, no sulfuric acid, no resins, no dyes. There are some trace bits of hay/plant matter. They won’t bother you a bit.

What is carbon farming? A suite of farming practices designed to sequester more CO2 out of the atmosphere and sequester it into the ground (where it belongs), reversing climate change and stewarding landscapes.

Welcome to our Sustainable Living Shop!

Here we offer a (beginning!) selection of carefully curated products for those seeking less--- less waste, less packaging, fewer ingredients, less harmful impact on our health, water, soil and air.

We strive to be a resource for the modern woman of all ages who yearns for a simpler way of life, to offer choices to those seeking independence from systems that are harmful to the planet and its people.

OUR WHY

As consumers ourselves, we are constantly seeking out products for our everyday needs that are as natural, non-toxic, biodegradable and as resource-responsible as possible. Yet in our own exploration, we have found these goods lacking in the wider marketplace, especially since we value not only functionality, safety and sustainability, but also style and aesthetic in connecting with our environments. That’s WHY we are dedicated to searching them out and providing them here for YOU!

OUR STANDARDS

We have chosen products with

The highest quality ingredients and materials, as close to nature and as clean, organic and chemical-free as possible.

Limited packaging that is either biodegradable, recyclable or reusable, minimal plastic (goal: zero to minimal waste!

Long-lasting and/or multiple uses

A “circular” mindset, or consideration for the entire lifecycle of the item. Specifically, our Lady Farmer clothing is designed for biodegradability, which is why we don’t use elastic, zippers, closures, plastic buttons, etc. Anything on the garment that is not the fabric itself can be easily removed and recycled. The fabrics we use (hemp, organic cotton, linen, lyocell, wool) are selected with the highest regard for the human and planetary health, from the cultivation of the raw materials, to production, throughout consumer use and ultimately to the end of the product’s functional life.

OUR HOPE

That you will understand the purpose and value of choosing to purchase and use paradigm-shifting products

That you will be an ongoing example of the new conscious consumer to those who know and love you

That you will feel free to provide us with honest feedback on any of our offerings and efforts.
